I don't know what a blossom server is, and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.

With you on that one brother
I dont know either 🤷♂️
Try this https://blossomuploader.com
That's cool. 😎
Files are stored as a hash. The blossom server uses this hash to publish a photo from the hash as opposed to a single link. This increases the availability of the image because if the photo is deleted from one blossom server, it can be found on another blossom server.
What's the difference to IPFS?
I don't know either, but it did automatically replace the subscription service I used previously to store my media and so a few months went by before I noticed and was able to fix the issue..... So I hate blossom. Very nonconsensual of them 😅
Blossom is supposed to help make your media more redundant? So if one goes down, your media is still available elsewhere?
Maybe that would have been the case if I understood where it went when it was going to Blossom, but I don't because I never understood that I got signed up for it even.
Instead I just noticed that the Nostr Build account I had paid for was no longer storing my media because it was going to whatever blossom void. Several weeks of hilarious gif and videos of my puppy I lost or maybe Blossom is storing somewhere that they didn't tell me about.
Either way fuck them, I didn't want it, didn't ask for it, and I have a hard enough time getting Nostr to work for me. I don't need strangers fucking it up with strange new things. Especially without telling me.
